Introduction
Eric: "Our official desktop is MATE, which means that the leading developer of GhostBSD does not officially support XFCE. Community releases are maintained by the community and for the community. GhostBSD project will provide help to build and to host the community release. If anyone wants to have a particular desktop supported, it is up to the community. Sure I will help where I can, answer questions and guide new community members that contribute to community release."
GhostBSD uses the GTK environment as default to provide a beautiful looks and a comfortable experience on the modern BSD platform offering a natural and native Unix work environment.
MATE Desktop Environment
"The MATE Desktop Environment is the continuation of GNOME 2. It provides an intuitive and attractive desktop environment using traditional metaphors for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems.
MATE is under active development to add support for new technologies while preserving a traditional desktop experience." Source: Mate homepage
MATE is simple to use. You can place the panel on each side. So you can get the look and feel of
- pure MATE - panel on top
- GNOME 3 - panel on the left
- place a panel on the bottom like KDE, XFCE or Cinnamon
- or you chose a additional panel for example on the left for application starters.
You may also place some starters on the desktop. It is all possible.
